It's not free, but wouldn't the new EFL-Law book have relevant info? |

Not because I was teaching privates or anything remotely unscrupulous, but because I simply forgot to register a change of address.
Apparently, you have 14 days from the date of your move to register the change of address, or you will be fined W200,000. When I applied for an E-2 visa (to be added to my F-2) some 5 months ago, I wrote our current address on the forms. However, according to immigration this did not qualify as an actual change of address, which must be made on specific forms. Therefore, assuming unwisely (never assume anything about immigration) that my current address was now in the system, I allowed a full year to pass since my last move. And that's the real bugger. If you allow a full year to pass before registering a change of address, the fine jumps to W500,000. It's highway robbery, to put it mildly.
If you think I am deserving of the fine, please view my "Ignorance is a Defence" thread. |
Strange. The same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. But the guy just said, "You should have fillled out a change of address form." Then he gave me the form and I quickly filled it out.
No mention of a fine. |
Probably because you werent being an ass about it like the OP. When dealing with immigration, you have to be polite and humble. |
